It is first Thursday down and three to go until Aggie Kickoff. Yesterday was the official start of Aggie football. On August 26 we shall see what Jimbo brings. Let’s hope he brings a complete and comprehensive understanding that football games have four quarters and each quarter must be played with the same intensity as the first quarter.

Moving on. I watched a hilarious program last night called Making It. It stars Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman and number of very creative and clever craftspeople. It is a reality program where people who enjoy making crafts are given assignments and compete for the best one. There were some really cool crafts and as always some really ugly craps.

You see the words begin with similar letters. It does not take much for craft to become crap. Remember contestants are only given three hours to complete their project. I would not be able to do some of those in three days, weeks or possibly years.

I can so identify with Amy Poehler. She knows zip about crafting. For example, in the premier episode she asked “What is that piece of wood with that heavy thing on top?” Offerman replied “A hammer.” I am so there.

Evidently, Peach Cat liked the program also. Never before has she climbed atop the TV set. Apparently, she likes Amy Poehler’s hair.

My favorite craft project – sit in recliner, watch funny TV show and take picture of cat trying to touch Amy’s hair, then sit in office chair and write silly blog about craft TV program. Actually that is my second favorite craft project. The first one is drinking and recycling the containers.

Making It is on NBC at 9:00. Next week’s episode is called Party Time – crafters must repurpose and recycle materials to create a backyard theme party. You probably know what I am thinking. FOOTBALL.
